john harbaugh coaching era. joe flacco bore the most part of that beating, sacked four times. harbaugh reflected today on the defeat. >> i think the fact that we haven't won as many games in a row as we should have is disappointing. we've been traditionally pretty good on the road. >> we ask you with our wjz fan cam, what concerns you about the team? and can they bounce back? >> i'm a little concerned about the team. but i have confidence in them and i think they will bounce back eventually. >> i believe we can bounce back. i'm just concerned where we end up in the wild card. >> they are a good team and they'll bounce back, harbaugh will have them ready and you know we'll root for the 49ers tonight. >> now john harbaugh admits there is concern as well for
